Tribe Trialeurodini
Russell (1947) erected this tribe and stated ‘‘only the known genera Aleuroparadoxus and Aleurotithius of Quaintance and Baker and Trialeurodes Cockerell appear to be assignable to this tribe’’. Subsequently, Russell (1967) added her new monobasic genus, Venezaleurodes . In the strict consensus tree of UW-MPTs ( Figure 13 View Figure 13 ), nine of the 11 examined species of Trialeurodes including the type-species, T. pergandei (Quaintance) , as well as Aleurotithius (only the type-species studied), Venezaleurodes and several different genera formed a polytomy, and only two species of Trialeurodes were recovered in the same clade. Aleuroparadoxus was found to be monophyletic and formed a separate clade with several different genera. In the MPTs-SAW-MaxRI ( Figure 14 View Figure 14 ), the nine species of Trialeurodes , and Venezaleurodes were recovered in the same clade, and Aleurotithius formed a separate small clade with the two other species of Trialeurodes .
